nudge Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 This is pretty cool: http://iss-sim.spacex.com/ An ISS docking simulator from SpaceX, with the actual interface that the Crew Dragon is using. Try your hand at it... Quote

DeadLinesman Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 I thought it was well suspect when the feed cut off and the next minute, it had landed 2 Quote

Administrator Stan Posted May 31, 2020 Administrator Posted May 31, 2020 I did find it amusing when the person on the comms kept saying 'of course I still love you'. Took me a couple of times after she said it to realise it was the name of the vessel/ship the rocket would land on Thought she was just being nice. 3 Quote

Administrator Stan Posted May 31, 2020 Administrator Posted May 31, 2020 BTW, not saying what we saw yesterday was not real, just that the footage above specifically was from a few years ago I see no reason why they'd go to so much trouble to fake stuff like that! Quote
